7 commercial dishwashers at a checked price under $5,000.
Under $5,000 is mostly undercounter machines, many of them low-temperature units that sanitize with a chemical rinse and run on an ordinary circuit. That keeps installation simple and the purchase price down, but you pay it back in sanitizer, and some local health codes prefer or require a hot-water final rinse.
Rack throughput is the number to check, since a small kitchen that runs out of clean glassware or plates at the rush will not be helped by a cheap machine. Also confirm the water supply, drain height, voltage and whether a separate booster heater or chemical pumps are included or extra.
